the trouble with ffxiv sometimes is that the reference takes on the same name as a beloved character from another FF game and then it turns out it's someone else from ffxiv completely disconnected from it just wearing the costume

#which I get bc ffxiv can't become dissidia or whatever but it sometimes irks me when it's a preexisting character #and everything has to circle back to *our* pc without that prior knowledge #i think i knew a huge ff1 fan who didn't like ffxiv bc of what they did with his wol #which now that i have context for i kinda get #so far we're seeing the same with the archfiends and golbez/zeromus #I actually don't mind it but it constantly clashes with fan theories that don't recognize where they're from #ooc #ffxiv #it's pretty impressive the amount of rewriting ffxiv does to fit these references in actually #.......really does feel like mcu type referencing though
